Mapisarema 13

1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Kusvikira riniko, nhai Jehovha? Muchandikanganwa nokusingaperi here? Muchasvika riniko makandivanzira chiso chenyu?

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 Ndichaita mutsimba nepfungwa dzangu kusvikira riniko, uye ndine shungu mumwoyo mangu zuva rimwe nerimwe? Muvengi wangu achandikurira kusvikira riniko?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Tarirai kwandiri mugondipindura, imi Jehovha Mwari wangu. Vhenekerai meso angu, kana kuti ndichafa ndakarara;

Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep [the sleep] of death;

4 muvengi wangu achati, “Ndamukurira ndamukunda,” uye vadzivisi vangu vachapembera kana ndawa.

Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [and] those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 Asi ini ndinovimba norudo rwenyu rusingaperi; mwoyo wangu unofarira ruponeso rwenyu.

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 Ndichaimbira Jehovha, nokuti akandinakira.

I will sing to the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
